Chapter 946: Beheading the Dragon in a Dream

Yet, looking at the Jinghe Long Wang now reduced to just a head, the face of Emperor Li Shimin of Tang turned ashen.

Just at this moment, Wei Zheng, who had been sleeping soundly nearby, slowly raised his head, clearly having woken up.

At one glance, he saw the ashen-faced Emperor Li Shimin of Tang, so Wei Zheng hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty: "Your humble servant deserves death for falling asleep while playing chess with Your Majesty, disturbing Your Majesty's refined interest. Your humble servant deserves to die ten thousand times over!"

Wei Zheng thought that Emperor Li Shimin of Tang's ashen face was because he had ruined the Emperor's refined interest.

After all, Wei Zheng did not know about the meeting between Emperor Li Shimin of Tang and the Jinghe Long Wang last night, nor the secret decision they had agreed upon.

"Wei Zheng, Minister Wei, do you know the origin of this head?"

Emperor Li Shimin of Tang looked at Wei Zheng, forcibly suppressing the anger within his body.

Although the tone of Emperor Li Shimin of Tang was very calm, as a long-time minister of Emperor Li Shimin of Tang, Wei Zheng knew his personality very well.

The current Li Shimin had reached the verge of an outburst, so at this moment, Wei Zheng did not dare to be arrogant at all, and even knelt down in full prostration.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant dares not deceive you. This dragon head is the head of the Jinghe Long Wang. As for why your humble servant knows, it is because just now, when I entered a dream, I dreamt of this evil dragon!"

"Therefore, acting on the principle of eliminating harm for the people, your humble servant killed it directly, and the head of the Jinghe Long Wang fell directly into the mortal world."

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he found that Emperor Li Shimin of Tang still made no move, so under these circumstances, Wei Zheng did not dare to stand up, nor did he dare to make any movements.

After all, when the Son of Heaven is angry, a million corpses are laid to rest and blood flows for a thousand miles; Wei Zheng could clearly see this now.

The anger of Emperor Li Shimin of Tang was directed at him.

Therefore, for the sake of his own life and the lives of his family, Wei Zheng did not dare to make any further moves, lest he provoke Emperor Li Shimin of Tang.

One must know that this era was not the later generations; the existence of the execution of the nine familial exterminations was real.

Qin Shubao and Xu Maogong, who were on the side, did not even dare to breathe loudly, but fortunately, the target of Emperor Li Shimin of Tang was not the two of them.

Therefore, the psychological pressure on Qin Shubao and Xu Maogong was not great; they just felt uncomfortable all over.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the side hall became cold to the extreme.

The eunuch on the side and the historian behind the screen were already trembling in their legs, nearly losing control of their bowels.

Emperor Li Shimin of Tang spoke at this moment:

"Beheading a dragon in a dream, so that is how it is. It is I who underestimated you!"

Emperor Li Shimin of Tang was also very clear at this moment that he had been played by Wei Zheng.

"Wei Zheng, I have one thing I do not understand: what crime did this Jinghe Long Wang commit that required you to go and supervise the execution?"

Emperor Li Shimin of Tang was very annoyed in his heart, but he could not use Wei Zheng falling asleep in front of him as an excuse to attack, so he changed the subject to the Jinghe Long Wang.

"Your Majesty is the Emperor of the mortal world, so you naturally do not know about the affairs of the Heavenly Court."

"This Jinghe Long Wang was originally the emperor among the Jinghe aquatic tribe, but because he did not distinguish right from wrong and killed a minister who possessed an immortal register without authorization, he violated the Heavenly Law and committed the crime of great disrespect."

"Therefore, yesterday, your humble servant received instructions from the Heavenly Court to behead this sinful dragon at the hour of the horse today, to show justice!" ===== CHAPTER 948 =====
